Paired with a size 5000-7500 reel β€œI used an 6000” and you can shore, surf, pier or jetty fish with confidence. Love the white color it helps see big hits late at night and it’s very sturdy. Its tip is not as fast as an ugly stick but no where near as stiff as a down-rigger or jigging or trolling rod. With 20 lb line I was consistently tossing 40-60 yard casts easily with no worry of popping the line or snapping the rod with both 2 and 3oz weights and I would not hesitate to use 4oz as well. I casted bunker on large striper circle Hooks size 5/6 and 7 hooks so nice chunks and also whole squid and whole belly clams and it’s seems to cast the same distance unlike if it was a very soft fast flimsy tip which seems to cast farther with lighter bait and poor cast with heavy bait. This rod doesn’t care what on the end of the hook and cast equally impressive. Landed a larger stripper first nite out from a jetty and landed 2 huge sand sharks approaching 20lbs and the Rod handled them with ease. Ordering another one and going to pair it with a penn 7500 reel with bait runner. Just to good of a Rod to not have 2. This finishes my salt water package now with two 8’ three 7’ one 9’ and one 10’. After falling for these 8’ I’ve relegated my trusty 7’ foot rods to lure only like poppers and sp minnow and spoons. They seem to cast better with lures and the extra 1’ and stiffness of this 8’ berkley makes me feel confident that even a 40+ pound stripper is coming home with me and I’m not losing the rod or line or reel. Sometimes I don’t want to fish with a 10’ or even a 9’ Rod as they are big and clumsy and I don’t need 75-100 yard cast. 8’ is the perfect size to be nimble yet have the same ability in power as a nice 9 or 10’ with only minuscule less casting distance. It does make you feel a lot more secure versus having a 7’ which even ugly sticks and a nasty big gorilla blue or cow stripper I’ve seen them snap in two love this rod!!!! Thanks Berkley for such a great rod and I’m a customer for life ## Features - BERKLEY BIG GAME 8’ SPINNING ROD, MODERATE FAST ACTION: The Big Game series has the tensile strength required to help you reel in the big one.

Thanks Berkley for such a great rod and I’m a customer for life ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ That is my favorite catfish rod. *by T***L on 16 June 2020* This rod has seen so far as many as 200 nice channel catfish in fight that were great. It is of medium action and it is ideal for the smaller channel catfish that we have up North. No Blue or Flathead here so I don't know what it would be like facing a 30 LB and up. This is a good rod and the price is right . ## Frequently Bought Together - Berkley Big Game Spinning Fishing Rod - Reaction Tackle Braided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater Fish - Colored Fishing Line Braid for Extra Visibility - Quantum Optix Spinning Fishing Reel, 4 Bearings (3 + Clutch), Anti-Reverse with Smooth, Precisely-Aligned Gears, Clam Packaging --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/289985333-berkley-8-big-game-spinning-rod-two-piece-surf-rod](https://www.desertcart.us/products/289985333-berkley-8-big-game-spinning-rod-two-piece-surf-rod) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-22*
